2. W omen… Of working age work (71% compared to 86% of men) Workers make more individual trips than men workers (120 more each year) Work 2.7 miles closer to home (8.7 vs. 11.4 miles for men) regardless of occupation Pick-up and drop-off children at school on their way to and from work, even in 2-worker families Chain other trips into their commutes more often than men, and this varies by race/ethnicity and purpose of the stops P.S. There’s a surprise ending

3. Women workers make more trips, about 120 more per year than men workers…

4. But travel fewer miles and minutes than men….

5. Overall, women (16-65 years old) travel more miles in home-based tours

6. Both men and women commuters increased trip chaining since 1995…

7. 46% of all workers are women, but this varies by occupation…

8. No matter what occupation, women work closer to home…

9. Women with children work closer to home than their male counterparts…

10. Maybe because even in 2-worker families, women are more likely to pick-up/drop off kids at school…

11. And miles and minutes in travel are related to chaining behavior…

12. There is variation by race and ethnicity…

13. And variation within race and ethnicity by purpose….

14. Stops for meals and/or coffee increased pretty dramatically between 1995 and 2001…
